Hello. Avid watchers of Weather For The Week Ahead | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
will know in recent days we've been talking about the upcoming arrival | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
of perhaps colder easterly winds. But, what do you know? | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
Some of the computer models have thrown a bit of a googly | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
and we might have to wait a little bit longer for those easterlies | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
to come our way, as I'll show you in a moment. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
It's been chilly enough in recent days with this flow | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
of Atlantic westerlies coming into the UK. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
For some during Thursday, there was a bit more snow to be had. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
Hills of northwest England, Northern Ireland, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
heavy snow showers into northwest Scotland, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
whereas for many in the UK, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
there was a return of some welcome sunshine, | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
and will be around again during Friday. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
In fact, most places on Friday will be fine and dry. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
There's a flow of air from the Atlantic, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
but with high pressure bulging in from the south, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
it does leave northwest Scotland on Friday | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
with further heavy snow showers. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
Quite tricky over the higher routes, particularly during | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
the first part of the day, quite icy. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
Icy too into Northern Ireland. Cloud will increase | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
to western areas as we go on through the day, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
leaving the best of the afternoon's sunny spells | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
in the east, and after, a widespread frost to begin with. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Temperatures top out at around 7-10 Celsius. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
Now, as we look at things | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
through Friday night and into Saturday, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
this weather system just runs across northern parts of the UK. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
A bit of rain, sleet and a bit of hill snow to be had. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
Petering out during Saturday morning and we're left - | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
for northern England, Scotland, Northern Ireland - | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
with a scattering of showers, wintry on the hills. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
Dry across southern parts here | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
with probably the best of the sunny spells. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
The temperatures pretty similar. Still some just nudging | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
into double figures. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Saturday night and into Sunday, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
another weak weather system working on through, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
another one just edging towards the west later in the day. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
That's a recipe for a bit more cloud | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
for part two of the weekend on Sunday, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
to the north and west of the UK in particular. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
It may be a bit damp and drizzly underneath that. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
You see the land here, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
the green land here towards the southeast. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
That does mean probably still some sunny spells | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
to be had here. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
There are a few more of us getting into double figures - | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
11 degrees in Belfast, for example, on Sunday. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Going into the start of next week, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
it is a really quiet weather pattern across the UK. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
So nothing happening very quickly, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
but we're left with a lot of cloud on Monday. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
Sunshine much harder to come by. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
It's misty, there's hill fog around and it's still damp | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
and drizzly in some spots as well. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
But it's a different feel out there. 10 degrees in Stornoway | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
and Aberdeen, so more of us getting into double figures. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
And it looks like more of us, by Tuesday, with this quiet | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
weather pattern will actually start to see a bit more | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
in the way of sunshine, although by Tuesday, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
temperatures may just come down a degree or so once again. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
So a quiet start to next week. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
It's beyond this stage, going deeper into next week | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
we were thinking high pressure would set up near Scandinavia | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
easterly winds could come in and they'd be quite cold, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
but look at this. This is one possible suggestion | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
for the end of next week. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
Low pressure, a deep area of low pressure | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
towards the northwest of the UK, wet windy weather coming in | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
with the Atlantic very much still in charge of our weather | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
with quite a mild flow, quite strong winds, particularly | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
across southern parts. No sign of that cold easterly wind. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
So what does that mean for our weather next week? | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
Well, we've established that the half of the week, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
pretty sure it'll be fairly quiet and milder. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
Then there's that possibility, but it's far from set in stone, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
that we'll see something wetter and windier for a time, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
delaying the arrival of perhaps colder easterlies. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
If this doesn't happen, and it yet may not, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
then the easterlies may well come in at the end of next week. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
You can see there's still a lot to play for, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
but when it comes to those easterly winds, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
it's still a case of when rather than if. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 |
